I would sworn I saw a post asking for opinions about concealed carry pistols in the summer wearing shorts. Have I missed something as I can't find the post and answers ??

OK, get your self a S&W 638-3 airweight (concealed hammer,won't snag when drawn) in .38+p with Houge grips. Load it up with Glaser Safety Slugs and that will stop anything. I've shot 1 gal jugs of water @ 20 feet and the performance of those slugs is Devastating!

Waterfwlr,
Thank you, started my search with your S&W body guard, looked good at 12 Oz. then I found a Ruger LCP , also in 380. it was 9.4 oz. There were several more. Looks like I'll be spending a complete day at the next gun show seeing which one feels the best in my meat slab of a hand.
The internet data on the 380 as a defense round is confusing at best. I'll leave that research for the next rainy day.

The thing to keep in mind about a carry pistol is a small and lightweight pistol is easiest to carry and conceal but they are horrible to shoot. Think more weight = less recoil and less weight = more recoil = more pain...
Most people that have experience shooting will tell you that to get confidence with your carry gun, you have to shoot it. However, a lightweight carry gun will discourage you from shooting it which is counter productive. The best advice is to carry what you shoot, and if what you shoot is too big, carry a shorter version of the same gun so that you are familiar with its manipulation. I carry IWB a XDSC, not exactly a light weight pistol but it shoots very accurate just like my competition pistol XDM 5.25 competition and it conceals easily with a loose T-shirt.
I wear the cargo shorts from academy, and carry a Kimber ultra carry 45acp every day. It's hit here in Texas so shorts are the norm ten months a year. Have a kel tec 380 to slide in back pocket when wearing jeans
